OK guys I have a question sorry if it seems dumb:

 

The DS-160 is a passport application as I understand. I might be wrong. But in the requirements to bring to the interview it asks to bring passports and copies of the passports along.

So should my fiance and her daughter already have passports? or will they recieve them in the mail prior to the interview once they complete the DS-160. I'm so confused please help.

 

(side note) i'm also vietnamese so you can reply to me in either language. hope to hear from u

The DS-160 is a visa (thi thuc) application.  The US Government does not issue Vietnamese passports.

 

Your fiance and her daughter will need Vietnamese passports (ho chieu).  They will need their passports in order to complete the DS-160 visa applications.  It's 200,000 dong and about 10 days to get a Vietnamese passport.

Your fiance and daughter need to apply for and receive Vietnamese passports from the Vietnamese government and have them in hand for the interview.  If the interview goes well and they are approved for the visas, then the US Consulate keeps their original passports.  The US Consulate then processes the K1 visa and glues the visa onto a page of the passport.  Once this is done (takes about 5 - 6 business days after approval) the passport gets mailed back to the passport holder.
